Electronically conductive material

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide an electrically conductive material that can have high conductivity even when it contains a smaller amount of a noble metal than usual. The present invention relates to an electrically conductive material containing rutile titanium oxide and iridium oxide on the rutile titanium oxide, a percentage of a total iridium element in the electrically conductive material being 30 mass % or less based on a total 100 mass % of the titanium oxide and the iridium, a percentage of the iridium element as measured by XPS being 30 at % or more based on a total 100 at % of the titanium element and the iridium element.
